Connect to wireless network in xfce (opensuse 12.2) Jan 3rd 2013, 14:43 Hi, well I have to admit that even though I am using opensuse for some years in some things I am still very new (or I decide to not learn all things). I have installed opensuse 12.2 with the xfce (that is included in the installation dvd). So far everything good. Once, I boot in the system and I log in the xfce at the top right part of the taskbar there is this small icon for the wireless connections. I select my home network. I give the password, and everything looks fine. But no internet connection. (as a hint this network works pretty fine in my other linux boxes and in all windows systems). I checked with ifconfig and I got a really wrong ip addres, no gateway and dns were set!!! I guess that might be some permission problem (I give twice root password before connecting in the corresponding prompt) but I am not that sure. Can you suggest me simply things that I can try for that ? Regards Alex
